Nope, it’s called getting wiser when you get older and realising that we were getting our collective pants badly pulled down.

U start on the 787 on year 1 money not year 12 as in the 747. The difference between year 1 and 4 (top scale) is approx $50,000 per annum for a Capt.
Not if you move during a RIN. If you are awarded or assigned a 787 position during a RIN you go straight to year 4 pay.

It’s easier to be wise when it’s not your job on the line.

Obviously not a pilot (I put your passengers on the airplane) but what is RIN?

RIN = Reduction In Numbers, when fleet size reduces so less pilots required.

Qantas to order ultra-long range aircraft in 2019

A news article i came across on my phone this morning, which was posted 20 hours ago on
"Australian business traveller" or www.ausbt.com.au/tags/qantas , saying, Qantas looks to
order ultra-long range Airbus or Boeing jets in 2019, for delivery in 2022.

Aircraft talked about, 777-8 and A350-9 also 350-1000.

What a tragedy you didn't hear that 20 YEARS ago. Everything would be so different

Does anyone have any inside information on how many people from last year’s interviews are still on active hold?

I’d be surprised if applications opened again in 2018. They’ve barely started interviewing people from the 900 applications from this year.

That just means that 30 or so people didn't want to answer the phone...not that they didn't exist. A predictable outcome....

And as usual even if they did they wouldn’t want to go to Santiago.

Which I don't discount as the reason the trip was uncrewed in the first instance anyway!

(Talking generically and with tongue in cheek, not suggesting for a moment that crew would call in sick for a long slip Santiago at a rate higher than for other trips or that the specific crew member on the trip reported on by the media was anything other than close to his or her death bed with illness).

I should have rung in and offered to go. I've never been to Santiago, and it's 9 years since I last flew a 747 (and 26 since the right seat), but how hard could it be?

Not in Qantas. There is a shortage of training capacity but that’s because of short sighted idiocy dating back to mid 2014.
